Resolution supporting congressional term limits
HJ 13 is a joint resolution from the Montana Legislature that formally applies to the United States Congress to call a "convention of the states" under Article V of the U.S. Constitution. The specific purpose of this requested convention is to propose a constitutional amendment that would set term limits for members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. This resolution aims to combine with similar applications from other states to reach the two-thirds majority needed to convene such a convention, which would directly affect future federal legislators by limiting their terms in office.

MINOR
The bill was renumbered from LC 2504 to HJ 13.1, and the sponsor list was expanded from a blank field to include specific legislators (G. Nikolakakos, S. Novak, M. Nikolakakos, S. Klakken, E. Albus, G. Overstreet, D. Bedey, A. Regier, D. Fern, M. Yakawich, J. Schillinger, G. Oblander, B. Carter, G. Hertz, B. Mitchell, M. Noland, K. Bogner). The substantive policy content of the resolution remains unchanged - it is still a joint resolution applying for a constitutional convention to set term limits on members of Congress.
